SINGLE TOOTH IMPLANTS

If you have lost a single tooth, implant dentist Dr. Chapnick cannot emphasize too much how important it is to preserve that space with some type of restoration. Until recently, dental bridges were the restoration of choice, but over time the developments in implant dentistry have made dental implants a popular choice. Dental implants give you a permanent fix for the missing tooth so your smile can be great again.

Single tooth implants prove their value in preserving oral structure, bone health, teeth and jaw alignment, and in preventing secondary problems that occur when teeth drift out of position.

Your upper and lower teeth normally align properly. That is, your bite fits comfortably and snugly when you close your teeth. As an implant dentist, Dr. Chapnick assesses ways to help you keep this balance. A missing tooth allows teeth to drift into the gap and out of their normal bite position. This can result in chipped, cracked or broken teeth, a misalignment that affects jaw positioning, bone deterioration and other changes that can cause serious problems.

In addition to being permanent, single tooth implants have several advantages over dental bridges including:

• Comfort – there is no movement so you can eat and talk with ease
• Strength and durability – with proper oral hygiene, your dental implant should last a lifetime
• Appearance – single tooth implants look and work just like your natural teeth

Rather than let a single missing tooth cause long-term problems, please contact Chapnick Dental Office to schedule an evaluation with implant dentist Dr. Adam Chapnick.
